What May Come 
by Ela Lourenco 

.

I fill my lungs in

As though I could breathe in

Your scent

I spend my never-ending days

Staring at the dewy place

That was once my home

My family, friends, you…

All ripped away.

Exiled and cast out

To wander this dead rock

Alone

Tortured by memories

Yearning for a touch

Stripped of my magic

Impotent and useless

Punished for a power

I did not ask for

Innocent I was born

Blooded I will die

There is revenge in my heart and mind…
